Al Queda is not Emmanuel Goldstein. Al Queda has never been Emmanuel Goldstein.

In other words, now that we know the alleged perpetrator is not Muslim, we know -- by definition -- that Terrorists are not responsible; conversely, when we thought Muslims were responsible, that meant -- also by definition -- that it was an act of Terrorism.

One man's blond, blue-eyed whacko is another man's swarthy terrorist - but there are no blue-eyed terrorists.

UPDATE: William Grigg comes up with the one cogent lesson we can definitely take from this increasingly murky mess:
...never trust an armed man wearing the costume of a police officer.
